Appears to have been made in the late 18th century (1700s) to early 19th Century (1800s) but was probably converted in the mid to late 1800s. The outer case measures approx. 57mm in diameter while the inner case measures approx. 51.5mm in diameter. The white enamel dial is in fair shape with noticeable wear in the photos. The inner and outer cases appear to be gilt (gold plated brass) and appear to be decent shape with more than normal wear. The outer back covering has what looks to be turtle shell which was common back in the 1600s to 1800s. The hour repeating movement is stamped JOHANES BIERET A GENT No. 116 Lovely ornate filigree balance cock. Key wind & key set. I did get the watch to run good (dial face up) for almost a day and it kept good time (within a minute) but it is apparent that it will need some cleaning (runs sluggish and stops, dial faced down, but staff is good). The movement appears to have been a VERGE FUSEE watch at one point in time but looks to have been converted to a cylinder escapement with dual mainspring barrels (one for the time and the other for the repeating mechanism) probably around the mid to late 1800s. The repeater is complete and the watch chimes on its own every hour. However, when you push down on the top button below the bow, it will manually active the chiming as well. The inner case has a mounted bell that the repeating hammer strikes on. I have not found any information on the maker nor have I seen any similar to this repeater, so it could be extremely rare if not uncommon. Please check out my other auctions for other fine vintage and antique horological items. PHOTOS 1-12 are located on the top left of the page.

For your consideration is this original vintage Illinois 60 Hour Bunn Special pocket watch by the Springfield Watch Co. This is the Type III version of the watch, produced around 1929. It is a size 16 with 23 jewels. Lever set with 60 hr motor and 6 adjusted positions. True railroad grade pocket watch. Fantastic double sunk enamel dial. The dial is marked Illinois Bunn Special, and then marked 23 Jewel 60 Hour over the seconds dial. The dial is in EX condition with no chips or cracks. The crystal is celluloid or plastic and has yellowed a bit. Would benefit from a cleaning or would probably shine much brighter with a new piece of glass. The case is an Illinois Bunn Special Model #173 J Boss Keystone Watch Case. Marked as 14K Gold Filled. Two tone case with the covers being white gold and the main part being yellow gold filled. The movement is marked as serial No 5240307. Winds easily and keeps accurate time when I tested it for the full day before listing it. The movement is very clean and shows no wear or damage. The case shows some fine wear or light scratches on the back. Overall a very clean and nice working example of this very desirable pocket watch. Sells with no reserve! Don’t miss out on this one.
